Friday, January 12, 2024 - Cassis, currants, black berries, smooth medium tannins, medium fresh acidity, hints of funk. Nice medium long finish. Really really nice as I've come to expect from Barde Haut.
Comparing next to a 2018 Manoir de Gay, one of my favorites in the price category. Manoir is creamier, more opulent, more vanilla. Barde Haut is more rustic, earthy, more traditionally St Emilion. Both are just great, but I might give a slight nod towards the Manoir for it's creamy opulence.
